Yup I agree, include her i giving the gift bags. She will appreciate it and that way everyone is more involved? And the like the others by the end of you DW you will know each other all the more since she will be part of your wedding celebration. Jodie.xx

I love this thread!! Ha and my sanity is re-stored!! I'm not alone and baby mania has got a lot of us!! My wonderful FI is fricken worse ha me tho!! he's desperate to have kids, and I think it is a age thing, between the body clock going and all our friends either getting married, TTC or new arrivals every other week it makes us all worse i guess!! Too funny on the 'trying to stop it from happening' for so long then it's all we want!! I'm determined to fit into my dress!! pahaha!! Jodie.xxx

I know the feeling!!!! They chopped the numbers in my package too! my wedding package was for up to 40 now it only covers 15!! So the next package up is nearly an extra $1000! That was the Riu releasing the 2011 wedding package prices for the resort we're getting married at? don't know how it affects other resorts and packages? I'm hoping when we booked secures the price and package? the little bit at the bottom made my heart sink though, where it says 'price are subject to change without prior notice' Im waiting for my TA to get back to us?? Im sending lots of positive vibes your way today!! Goodness knows we're gona need them to deal with this!! Hugs Jodie.xx

Welcome and congrats on your daughters wedding! Happy planning!

Hi ladies, been a few days since i checked in here! welcome new January brides!! I'm so excited and yet nervous as I'm dropping down to 7 months + soon!! I honestly must say 10x a day 'is it january yet!!?' LOL Just had a look at the happiest wedding day pics thread, I have a huge smile on my face now thinking how wonderful all out weddings will be!! I've decided to do D.I.Y Invitations!! days of researching and looking at how much it will cost, I think I'm creative enough to take on the challenge!! I'll keep ya posted on that!

I agree, general rule of thumb is it's usually ok on the beaches, but not by the pool area's?? Yu could call the hotel and ask them I guess? That way you can be prepared as to what kind of swim wear tops you will need? Jodie.xx

yeah the standard ones just aint working for me? I'm trying to make one on Iwork too so if it turns out well I will post a template hopefully! Jodie.xx

Well done carly, im so glad it went better!! you've convinced me to be brave and get it done!! Thanks

Very nice! Some awesome inspiration there!

Aw I forgot i read this the other day! So great that everyone came together and they got their wedding!! What a nice thing for the hotel to do!!

Oh great Question Diane!!

Even i'm bummed and I'm in the UK!! LOL

Haha!! It is such a guy thing to say!! LOL

As the above ladies already said, Symbolic pretty much covers everything the way the legal one would, and looks like you can sort something out with a certificate! Anything I checked before i decided on a legal ceremony was telling me no-one would know the difference! Best of luck Jodie.xx
